Masters Snooker Semi-Final Betting Tips

We're down to the last four of the Masters Snooker Championship with Ronnie O'Sullivan facing off against Ali Carter in Friday's action while Mark Selby will play a match against John Higgins. The winner of the Carter- O' Sullivan match today will play off against Stephen Maguire in what should be a scintillating contest. There's been some world-class snooker on display in the past few days at Wembley Arena and the final is really shaping up to be an absolute classic. Punters who backed O'Sullivan can expect to be in the drivers seat going into the semis, but you really can't rule out an upset here. This is first-class snooker, people- anything can happen.If you're looking for some decent value I would suggest you take a gander in the direction of totesport, who are boasting some enticing odds both on the match-play outright results and the frame wagering as well. In the O'Sullivan/Carter match-up, you know you usually can't get super value on O'Sullivan, so you'll have to settle for 4/9. This is still head and shoulders above some of the 2/7's I've seen on many other sites, so I say get in while the getting's good. Where the real value is here is the frame wagering. According to the bookmakers, a 6-3 O'Sullivan victory is the most likely outcome, carrying odds of 9/2. 6-4 pays out at 5/1 while 6-2 pays 6/1. You can drop an equal bet on each of those results and still be coming in at practically evens- something to consider going forward eh? If you're backing the upset, you're looking at 13/8 in favour of Carter. The next day's match-up will see what the bookmakers expect to be an extremely even contest- straight down the middle at 5/6 apiece for Higgins/Selby. I agree that this one really can go either way, and I'm again looking to the frame betting for the most value. Totesport has a Higgins win at 6-3 listed at 7/1 but I'm also enticed by the 6-5 at 5/1 as this one could really be a corker. The bookmaker seemingly thinks this one is going right down to the wire. It's been an exciting tournament and I'm greatly looking forward to the conclusion.
